Timing is Everything

As moms, we are BUSY.  Not just our own personal "to do's" but our work responsibilities, household and automotive maintenance, cooking, things we do with and for our spouse, and especially all the things we do for our kids - everything from clothing them, bathing them, taking them to their activities, some days you just feel like you don't have a second for yourself. 

So why, you ask, am I recommending that you start your own business on top of everything? Because it's my opinion that it's the only way you will get yourself out of this vicious cycle of never having time to do anything. If you are reliant on someone else who tells you your work hours, work location, salary etc, then you don't have true life freedom.

There is probably never a good time in life to make a big change. You always have too much to do.  How can you squeeze in one more thing?  (more tips on finding time HERE)  A few exceptions when you should not consider this may be during times of extreme stress or life changes (then again it may be just what you need - a fresh start, something new to believe in).  But the kids starting summer break or the holidays, that's not an excuse. That's life. If you let things like that stop you, you are doing a disservice to yourself and your goals.

But there is also something to be said for being mentally ready. You may not be "there" yet.  You have to ask yourself what you really want in life and if you would be happy if nothing about your current work situation ever changed.  But I'm guessing if you are reading this, you aren't!

Bottom line...timing is everything...but sometimes you just have to take the LEAP. This is an investment in your future. This is a long term plan to design your own life. If you don't start, you won't ever get there.
